how many crashpads can you fit in a honda civic hatchback? I'm thinking about something fuel efficient, and wondering, can you fit 2 normal size (misty mountain highlander)crash pads? One and one small?

Thanks.

Ask Doug Cornick. He had a little red civic that he crammed pads in

Since when has an internet forum been such a pinnacle of culture that you can't ask idle questions?

I've thought about going to the dealership, but it's much easier to ask while sitting in bed than taking my lazy bouldering ass out there.

Well played by both. Witty humor win. Self depreciating humor win. Please carry on.

When did we start being so unreliant that we post such stupid questions to the masses? How about looking at manufacturer specs? How big is the back of the POS you want to get radical in? Sheesh.

My cat likes to poop in kitty litter, what kind of litter do you guy's like? Cause I dont want to do any legwork on my end and will take whatever ya'll say like it's gosspel.

I'm mostly serious, does anyone actually know?

I know exactly the kind of kitty litter your cat prefers! Haha, but I ain't tellin'

I have a focus hatchback. Not the same, I know, but I can do a three panel and a small taco in the trunk, or at least double that with the back seat down. I really like my focus for climbing and camping with two people.

Seats up or down? What year? Anyway, in all likelihood, yes, you probably could. I'm certain you could fit two in the trunk of a Civic sedan, but you'll have little room for anything else if you also want use of the back seats.

But in complete seriousness, can I convince you to just buy a dirtbagging pickup truck?

I have an 2001 sedan. I can fit a couple small pads in the trunk. I can get 2 organic big pads in the trunk/back seat but then people can only sit up front.

The rule at my house is: If you have more hair on your ass than me, you shit outside.

2 taco pads fit in a 2001 Honda Insight, getting 60mpg on the way to Rumbling Bald from Ashiville.

I used to own a 1998 Honda Civic Hatchback, the 2 door. With the seats down in that I could definitely have fit 2 if not 3 regular size pads in the back. You'd be amazed at how much stuff will fit back there.

I have a 2dr integra and can fit 3 pads easily in the hatch

you can flatten the back seat in the civic hatchback. i can fit the organic big 5" pad as well as the simple pad that i stack next to it, standing up on its side the skinny way. could actually fit a 3rd pad on top of the big pad i have laying down, but i wouldnt be able to see outta the back window at all.

so to answer your question, 2 normal pads comfortably

Get a Mazda 3 hatch with Skyactiv. Bigger and still amazingly fuel efficient.

I use to own a 92-95 Civic Hatchback and can fit 3 pads(madrock and 2 metolius), a medium dog and 2 passengers. It can also fit a single BD Mondo but it'll be tight and definitely no rear passengers.

I was averaging 52mpg in my 93 Civic VX.

Not to mention more inspiring to drive. The Civic is really a point-A-to-point-B kinda vehicle IMO, not so much a driver's car.

I totally agree! The Subaru STI wagon would be my recommendation, but I'm sure OP already made a list of pros and cons of owning a Civic.

Have fun being the last person up the pass, but the last person to fill up.

I've got a 4 door civic and can cram a Metolius Behemoth and a Misty Highlander in the backseat and another 2 Highlanders plus shoes and gear in the trunk. Great for a 2 person road trip without the dogs.

Word. I love my WRX wagon. I can sleep in the back if necessary, comfortably sit 4 + gear, or 5 with my roof rack. And it's all whheeeeeee...shift....wheeeeeeeee
